Oklahoma County Farm Bureau donated $5,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma Friday, Jan. 3, to provide meals to Oklahomans facing food insecurity.
The donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling Oklahoma County Farm Bureau’s impact.
“With this $5,000 gift, it will double to $10,000, which will provide 30,000 meals to chronically hungry children, families who are struggling to make ends meet and also seniors living on fixed incomes,” said Andrew Shepard,
development officer with the regional food bank of Oklahoma. “This will be a huge help to our Oklahoma communities and all 53 counties that we’re all part of.”
“We have been given so much and blessed so much ourselves, and we appreciate the ability to give back,” said Bruce Wilson, Oklahoma County Farm Bureau president.
